the Perkins dUmiciie, but were refused an in

Colonel Wells, of BaldWins counsel moved

Serious Falling Out Between War De-
partmept Officials.

Copyright 1887, by ae California associated Press
WAsHINGToS, August 16th.-[Special AT the
War Department it Is said that Pensions Com
missioner Black and Adjutant- General Drum
have become involved in serious controversy
growing out OF the settlement of pension claims.
The custom has been TO remove the charge
of desertion against such pensioners as could
produce good records backed up by recommend
ations from the Commissioner of Pensions.
Drum took upon himself the task of oyerruling
certain recommendations made by Black, which
caused the latter TO write very sharp letter TO
the Secretary of War on the subject. Drum has
replied to Black 5 letter stating his side of the
question. Both letters contain numerous per
sonal illusions. which are said TO be rather
spicy. The last letter written by Black, is dated
the 9th inst. and he calls the Secretary's atten-
tion to Drums arbitrary ruling in numerous
pension cases. which, he alleges, is simply ne
TO prevent worthy Union soldiers from receiving
their just dues. As soon as Secretary Endicott
returns Black will call upon him TO prevent
Drum from interfering with and blocking the
wheels of the pension Office from disposing of
cases.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Frightened
Out of ITS Agreement

CHICAGO. August l6th.-A local paper says
that notice has just been given that the Penn
sylvsnia Railroad Company declines to accept
citic coast business, westbouud, if such rate is
below the regular tariff. This means that it
will not participate in we9tbound through
rates that are less for a longer than for
a shorter one. On eastbound California bust
ness it will take its proportion of whatever
rate the Pacific coast lines may make.
Its explanation for this action is that it is ad-
vised by its counsel that it would be liable, un-
der the interstate commerce law to be prose
euted for making lower rates for q longer haul
than for shorter one. The responsibility tor
violation of the law, the company officials say
rests with the initial company. The Baltimore
and Ohio, Lake Shore, Grand Trunk and other
Eastern lines do not agree with the Pennsylya-
MIA in this matter, and have given notice that
they will continue to accept their agreed pro
portions
